Originally posted by dj2beckeras many others have already pointed out, the person is not 'brought back to life'; he merely keeps on living. why do you think you can properly distinguish between being raised from the dead and just appearing like you are dead even though you are still alive? medical doctors fail to make this distinction surprisingly often. how many people have been buried alive unintentionally?
Do you know of anybody that has been raised from the dead? If so, do they talk about what they have experienced?
Btw: I know somebody that was dead and was brought back to life. Everything that she relates is identical to that which the Bible teaches about the afterlife. I was just interested to know if an atheist has ever been raised from the dead.

Or do you only say that the person who was medically declared to be dead and raised from the dead was not actually dead because they declare that they saw Heaven and Hell and were sent back to life to warn the people about the afterlife?

Originally posted by dj2beckeri am not saying any of that. what i am saying is that i simply don't believe your assertion that you know someone who was 'raised from the dead', and i further would be shocked if you could offer any hard proof to support your claim.
